Silvio has transformed TV into a refuge for those who suffer: “I am a messenger of joy”

What day is Sunday? Macarronada and Silvio Santos. For the lower classes of the economic pyramid this association has been sacred for decades.

The TV was turned on early in the morning and stayed tuned to SBT until late at night. It guarantees entertainment for all age groups in the family.

The attractions he led awakened joy and hope in the suffering population. They served as an anesthetic to overcome the disappointments of the past week and helped to renew confidence in the days to come.

Long before the VCR, pay TV, social media, YouTube, streaming, there was Silvio Santos who helped make people’s lives more bearable for a few hours.

There, in front of the old TV, the Brazilian forgot his sadness as he laughed at the jokes – sometimes politically incorrect – of the presenter with whom everyone felt close. He was at home. Even though he was a billionaire, he looked like people like us.

One of Silvio Santos’ greatest qualities was not taking himself seriously. Laugh at yourself. This is one of the greatest lessons left by the communicator. “I am the messenger of joy,” he once said.

“On Sundays I am a child. A child who plays and has fun like all children. On Sundays I try to enter Brazilian homes with my childish side.”

He courageously completed his mission.
